A Reconciling Ministries Welcoming Task Force met for over a year and has offered several opportunities for discussion, learning and Bible Study to consider issues of diversity and the church.

On September 18, 2016, North Church voted unanimously to become a Reconciling Ministry, formally affirming our openness to all, including the LGBTQ community. The following Statement of Welcome was unanimously adopted :

We annually show our support and reach out by having a booth at the Hartford Pridefest. The end of our driveway is festooned with bright flags and banners that proudly proclaim to all that we are open and accepting. We also raise money to support the Reconciling Ministry Network and others. Click for some fun pictures from 2024 Hartford Pridefest.
